When we hear the word, grief, it may seem like a distant whisper to many of us, but sooner or later, we will have some kind of confrontation with grief. Grieving comes in different forms of loss, but in most cases, it is when we lose a loved one.
The emotions that we feel can push us in a corner of isolation if we dont have the proper care and support. However, the ultimate support system that is guaranteed to succeed is Gods help. We can use professional counseling to provide assistance to us, but only Gods love can bring true peace in the stormy period of our loves.
The phrase, God knows best, is truth beyond our understanding. If God is the creator of us all and knows the end from the beginning as well as allowed our loved one to experience death, wouldnt that same God to able to make provisions for us to get back normalcy in or lives?
Our first response when a loved one dies may be, Why me, God? We address God with this question, which means that we are aware that only He has the answer to our question. If we think He knows the answer and the results, then why dont we rely on Him more to show us His plan for our future without our loved one? Whether you believe it or not, life has to go on after losing a loved one unless your intention is to live in your past, which is not likely.
For grief recovery to be accomplished, you will need Gods involvement in our daily life because this journey will get intense at times, overwhelming at first and unrealistic at best. The only thing that will seem sane to you is the fact that there is a creator. This fact will never change even though your life seems to be changing.
Therefore, your need of stability hinges on this one fact that grieving with Gods help will bring complete healing to you and your family. You may deny this truth now because you are in the denial stage of grief. However, your future depends on Gods help. He wants to comfort you from your grief and He will put people in your life to show compassion and love toward you in your time of grief. This is when you know that He is attempting to get your attention.
Embrace those that God send to bring a word of hope and encouragement to you. God is using them to talk to you. He wont come down physically from heaven, but He has genuine individuals here on earth that will reach out to you if you would accept the help that God is sending to you through them.
You need comfort from grief. It is one of the best remedies for grief. You are not able to comfort yourself so you do want to accept the undeniable love of God through the assistance of others. Your healing depends on it.
